More Reunions

It seems like winter just came a little earlier than expected. I like the snow but not the freezing temperature that comes with it.

I met up with a good from whom I haven't seen in over a year. She's one of the few girls I love to talk to because I can be myself and not have to watch what I say. Besides, she's one of the few that taught me that dirty jokes are a good thing and among other dirty things. Hehe... I have admired this girl from the moment we met at work, because she always seemed like she had the qualities I look to become for myself. She comes off very confident, witty and incredibly funny. And not to mention she is a good looking girl. But underneath all that, life isn't as perfect as I thought it would be for her. I won't get into details to respect her privacy. I just hope things work out for her.

But spending time with Jose today brought some good memories of the past when we did work together or hang out outside work. We also have a reunion to go this coming Saturday with the rest of the Loomis gang. I haven't seen some of the people for a couple of years now so this will be a very joyous event. The reuinion will be filled of laughter, jokes and more tears of laughter. Haha...

A Moment Of Weirdness

I am turning 25 in a few months and it feels like I am dealing with a quarter-century-crisis!
Can you imagine when I turn 30? 40?! 50?!?
How did I let this get out of hand?!

As I was packing today to head back home from London, Ontario, I noticed something really disturbing with my wardrobe collection. My clothes consisted mostly of the colour black. In a way, as I have said in the previous post, I am stuck in a rut and it is clearly showing with my wardrobe. This is really worrying me because I feel like I am not myself anymore and it is showing with the way I am dressing as well. I thoroughly enjoy watching any type of makeover shows, such as TLC's What Not To Wear. Before the big reveal of change, the people that get their makeovers done talk about or will be revealed in some form of how they got to where they are at. And some of them, you can clearly see along the way that they had lost their sense of self. Their confidence had faded and so they stopped caring of how they looked. I don't want that to happen to me...but it seems to be creeping up behind me.

I have lost passion for the things I used to obsess over.

Even my behaviour has been very disappointing lately, especially last night. This is not how I want to handle with whatever I am dealing with. I need to create a healthier outlet than what I have been doing lately.

HOWEVER...

I do think this is a great opportunity for me to start fresh and find myself once again. This could also help me refresh my love and passion for art. Which means, visiting galleries (I have a couple in mind already), reading and creating something artistic again instead of being glued to the computer all day. I should also read more books like I used to! I should spend time with old friends that I have not seen in a while. Lastly, become more physically active like I used to. There are so much things out there, and it felt like I have shut the door from everything that was familiar to me.

I know I will be fine and it's just a detour from what I have had planned. I always bounce back from any problems and learn from it. I will be shiny and sparkly once again. You just wait! Haha...

Hello Change!

I hate to say it but whenever I try to lose weight, I use a person(s) to inspire me to attain that weight loss goal. The only time it worked was back in high school, where I was head over heels for a teacher and this guy who's a friend of a friend. It felt good when I lost that weight, but my main problem was keeping it off. But I guess it's just the matter of creating a stronger will-power. I have NONE whatsoever when it comes to food. As I always say, "food always wins." But I really should not allow that to happen. I am what I eat and it doesn't really look good right now. Haha!

I will still use a certain person(s) to inspire my weight loss, but mainly it should be about what I need to do for myself - health wise that is. I have been in a rut within the last year or so and my goal is to get out of it.

Here's to healthy living!

P.S. I guess I should start looking at vegetables in that sense. Mmmm...veggies. Rawr! Haha...

Reunion

I just came back from a lovely reunion with my parents' classmates. My Tita Nadine, who lives in Staten Island, New York, was in town for the weekend. I was really excited to hear that she's here to visit. When my family got to my uncle's place in Scarborough, we were told that my Tita Baby flew from Winnipeg for a surprise visit. We all ate at a Japanese restaurant, called Ten-Ichi, which was the restaurant I ate at a few years ago with my Loomis Art Store friends (what a small world!). As always, we ate a lot of food. My favourite were the spicy salmon rolls and for dessert I was introduced to the mango yogurt shot. Delicious! It was just nice to see familiar faces and good laughs from my parents' past. It has been a few years now since we've seen them as well. And it was good to catch on things even if it's for a few hours of chatting. As well, they always have to ask if my brother and I are dating anyone. Some things never change, even with my own marital status. Haha...ha...heh...
